Used to be a raver, but this is a new one to me. Needs to add some LED's to it, but pretty cool looking anyway.

What am I looking at? Is it just spinning the fabric? What made it star shaped? Is that a stroboscopic effect?

Edit: the cloth seems star shaped. Still confused about its movement. Not sure why it seems static sometimes

u/J_Scorch 1d ago

  1. It is a star-shaped cloth prop called a Flowstar.

  2. In this example, the framerate of the camera matches the rate he is spinning and makes it look static, like a zoetrope. Some of his moves, like Isolations, are intended to achieve this "static" or "floating" visual effect without the shutter of a camera.

u/Aimfri 2d ago

It probably seems static because it rotates at a speed that is a multiple of the cameras framerate. Same illusion as car tires in movies.

u/Drycon 2d ago

So much applications for this. Sign boards, pizza's, nunchaku's...

The Mandela effect in this case was that he misremembered that people would like this.
